Quote:I had bad acne during my early teens, which I'm sure, caused me to develop a mild form of BDD. Concern about my looks was an issue for me, and the beliefs I'd created about myself like, "Why is my face more ugly than everyone else's?" did erode my self esteem. I worked a lot on this issue pre-Alpha to great success. Alpha Male itself also really helped as well. The difference here is the beliefs I'd created where linguistic, and so could be tackled with affirmations (or subliminals). This is probably my last remaining demon, it's pretty much gone but occasionally I'll have 'ugly' days. Luckily, I know how to handle these days without them getting anywhere near my rock solid confidence.
I really think it depends when you developed this issue, if it is a problem belief ingrained latter on in childhood then a body-image, face-image subliminal could really help. If it more primal than that - something like toxic shame - then therapy may be the best option. Keep going with Alpha Male though Jay.
I have a mild acne problem that is corrodes my confidence when I have it. What do you do to make it cease to exist?
